Jessica Heide

Jessica Heide has a passion for supporting students in their creative journeys, whether in the classroom as an instructor or through her work in educational administration. Before joining Gage, she served as the coordinator for the Magnuson Park Gallery and South Seattle College Gallery, collaborating with artists and students to showcase their work. Jessica earned her B.S. in Biology from the University of Washington and later received certification as a scientific illustrator. She studied in the KOH Atelier from 2018 to 2020, deepening her skills in observation-based art. For Jessica, art is a powerful tool for communication — from conveying precise scientific concepts to expressing thoughts, feelings, and ideas that can be difficult to share through other means.
